The Intouchables actor François Cluzet is in Chamonix shooting for his latest film based on the true story of a 11.6 million euro bank job.
The acclaimed French actor will be shooting scenes this week up at the Col des Montets, Tré le Champs and in the centre of Chamonix.
The film is being produced by Philippe Godeau and will be based on the true story of Toni Musulin, the man who stole 11.6 million Euros from the Banque de France while on duty.

It's not the first time Chamonix has been seen on the cinema screens, The World is not Enough, Touching the Void and Alien vs. Predator all had scenes filmed in Chamonix.
Unfortunately the weather in Chamonix is set to be quite rainy this week - lets hope they don't pull a rain check on the filming.
